500* (15/100)* (15/100)* (15/100)= 1.6875

500* (45/100)= 225

Therefore, the process of finding 45% of 500 does not have anything to do with the process of finding 15% of 155 of 15% of 500~

15% of 15% of 15% of 500 = 1.6875
45% of 500 = 225

If you want to find 15% of 15% of 15% of 500 then you first have to multiply,
0.15 x 0.15 = 0.0225
then you have to multiply 0.0225 times .15 AGAIN,
0.0225 x .15 = 0.003375
then you finally multiply
0.003375 x 500 = 1.6875

If you want to find 45% of 500 you simply multiply
.45 x 500 = 225

Hope this helps!

Answer:

y = 1/2x +2
y = -2x +7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the tangent of the angle it makes with the x-axis. The given line has a slope of -1/3, so the lines we want will have slopes of ...

m1 = tan(arctan(-1/3) +45°) = 0.5 . . . . . using a calculator

m2 = tan(arctan(-1/3) -45°) = -2

Of course, these two lines are perpendicular to each other, so their slopes will have a product of -1: (0.5)(-2) = -1.

We can use the point-slope form of the equation for a line to write the desired equations:

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Line 1:

y = 1/2(x -2) +3

y = 1/2x +2

Line 2:

y = -2(x -2) +3

y = -2x +7
